Not a bad property location, but it's being severely mismanaged the past 2 years…read more The management openly admit they have never camped and look down their nose at those who do camp, that's sad. If you walk into the arcade, you will hear folks at check in counter making fun and complaining about the paying guests as soon as they walk away from check in/check out. So judgy and rude. Also this is not at all a dog friendly property. No dog park, no dog walk paths, and dog potty stations are empty of bags & do not have waste stations. Management question and complain about Service Dogs, not understanding of support animals at all. We left and booked into a nice KOA nearby and are much happier.

The evening event, Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz, featuring the unforgettable performance by the Steve Rudolph Quartet, was rescheduled from Friday to Sunday due to Canadian wildfire smoke affecting air quality in the Harrisburg area. The Steve Rudolph Quartet (Steve Rudolph, piano; Hassan Shakur, bass; Larry Marshall, drums; and multi-instrumentalist Thom Strohman, sax, piccolo, flute, and clarinet) did a tremendous job featuring Jazz compositions by Benny Golson, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Charlie Parker. All that was needed was a blanket, chairs, and picnic treats on this perfect smokeless, not hot or humid evening. There is always plenty of parking, and restrooms are located in the Centennial Barn.

In previous years, we have twice done the three-hour Bald Eagle Run.

Two huge dog park to separate the big & small dogs which is very considerate. Lots of open space for public events or gatherings with family. Playground, swings, awnings & shaded areas to relax or do yoga are through the park. Big parking lot makes it easy to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Easily top of the list of greatest parks so far.

The park is big and has a lot of potential with nice shaded areas and different activities. I…read morebrought my dog here with the hopes of using the dog park as their website said nothing about it being close to the general public while we get there and it's locked up so I decided to take my dog on the trail that goes on the outside perimeter of the park in the woods. That trail is littered with broken glass, so we ditched that and ended up just walking around on the paved areas. It's truly a shame to see such a beautiful park not be living up to its full potential and not getting the respect it deserves.

Center the Void…read more Built in 1999, this visitors center was named after the man who generously donated the money to build it so that he could help other nature lovers find a place to learn about and enjoy nature. The Good: *Center is really nice and clean and looks very modern considering it's been open for over twenty years. *Bird feeder in the back was the most nature we saw the entire time at the park. *Great place to bring kids, as they have lots of interactive experiences for them. The Meh: *Staff was not as friendly as they should be, considering it's a nature center. You shouldn't feel like you're bothering them when asking questions. *Not a great place to cool off from the heat, as the inside was almost as warm as being outside. I'm not sure if the AC was on the fritz or if they're trying to save a few bucks? The Ugly: *Doesn't open until 10 a.m. I have no idea why some of these VCs open up so late. Hiking is an early man's game, imo, so the VCs should reflect that, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on this. TLDR: One of those rare times when I like the VC more than the park itself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
